THE WORST SERIES AT WORLDS | GAM vs R7 | IWD Worlds 2023 

"This is the worst series at worlds!" "The worst series at worlds, so far!"

still better than bo3's between dig and imt

I didnt even know Dom does co-cast on clash cups :o keep up the good work!

I played for almost 10 years and peaked at Plat 3 and the only times it even kind of felt like balance issues affected me at all were if one of my main champions was nerfed or buffed. The fact of the matter is that players at Plat elo and below make so many mistakes that the result of any given game is extremely unlikely to have been changed by a slight number adjustment on some champion's abilities.

how 1st seed vcs is worse than 2nd xD

One day I will be proud of supporting the LLA man, but holy shit they make it tough

Dom having such struggles with working at night shows how strong those nurses working every night tirelessly at the hospitals are, respect to both :)

For the balance conversation, I'm sure they're balancing around all elos, since games like SC2, who heavily balance towards the highest level, well, the starcraft playerbase doesn't even play the game anymore. Riot understands that, it doesnt matter that dr mundo is at 46% winrate in master+. They'd want to make it 50%, but he's already the #1 toplaner in silver, so buff that, and everyone and their mother in silver will act like a bitch forever

wasn't even that horrific of a series tbj, just r7 being poor

If you balance it for pro then the game dies. It's not a matter of the games health. Its a matter of Riot's entire existence. Esports arent like normal sports. If people cant play the game, or if the game has a champion pool as static as it is in pro, then they wont watch it. They'll watch another esport around a game they can play or perceive that they can play. Because of lack of comms as well, certain things will be MUCH stronger in soloq than competitive. Imagine Nocturne ult where you can simply state where you are and what's happening vs soloq where people frantically ping where they are and at best you get that, but you still cant walk in because there's no way to know whats happening. Also champions with qualities that require your team to coordinate to do something significant to them, like yi, kayn, ezreal, etc.

I didn’t plan on watching this series cuz I really don’t care about either of these teams, but the thumbnail made me laugh and pulled me in.

The reason jungle is considered strong is because solo queue players think the junglers role is to win their lane for them ;)

maybe i am wrong but your argument for jung not being strong is there isn't counterpicks like there is in lane but if there is an unplayable lane matchup someone will be down 40 cs. where in jung cant u play around the other jungs pathing and rarely be in an iso fight? I don't see jungs trading all the time in iso even contested crabs pushed waves are the ones able to move to the crab or herald or whatever objective. That aside I am hardstuck D4 so i am prolly wrong lol.

I love the conversation at the end xD the mental part is that a lot of lower ranked players are just watching tier list this and anecdotal that and will delusionally bitch and complain regardless of anything factual. "I wouldn't even have an objective view of what is strong" is such a good way to approach it. I think league is a hard one because the difference between amazing and turbo are very very subtle and conditional. So in a vacuum people will make statements like "yi is so op because he can strait 1v5 my team" when in reality the issue comes more from the fact that in low elo the game is much slower, so something like yi has a lot more time to come online to get to a scaling point where that occurs. Things like auto canceling, ward placement over walls, ect that can have a massive impact on games, but alot to very short and small timeframes that can absolutely snowball out of control but are hard to decern in the moment and especially for players that don't know those interactions are an option. Hell I was talking with someone ranked in diamond about wave management for bot lane about the difference between hard pushing early waves for level 2 fast to create the option for an early kill if the lane has the ability to do that, and it blew his mind because he was just doing it because he saw other people doing it. When in reality if the lane doesn't have those kill options there really isn't a reason to push for level 2 and instead create a freezing opportunity especially vs an aggressive jungler that will be looking for early ganks. It's often times people do what they see without actually calculating why and in what situations that lead to these misconceptions, and I think easy access to pro play can sort of facilitate this xD Why I love this channel and the sack for strait up calling out pros for making poor decisions. A new player might watch a situation like that and come to the conclusion "well a pro did that, so that's what I should do" when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth xD

The overwatch analogy doesnt work in league where half of the player base are players that are stuck in low elo for 10 years and think their team is holding them back. In that case they actually think they know what they are talking about

The game is balanced largely around pro play and high elo though

Anyone knows the name of the song at 0:05 right at the beginning where Dom was sayong how the series was gonna suck ass?

9:16 everyone is just confused, so funny

Man, I love Bong. Bro's got NECK

Think he dropped the pink ward for his team to teleport to. But he pressed teleport on the minion in front of the tower, so probably just miscommunication.

Slayder is one of the worst players in tournament history, plays like a d4 autofilled adc.

Did levi sold his black cleaver in the second game for some shit?

Early as fuck

Imagine GAM once lost to R7 during MSI 🤣

Thanks for the video glhf

Can't watch this. Jesus

This whole segment about Dom not understanding why „low elo“ players care about balanced champs etc is just the epitome of the illness plaguing the LoL community which is this sort of elitism towards only caring about the top. Do you think players in gold, plat, emerald, diamond etc don‘t play the game more than 1 hour per day or what? Him trying to equate his experience of „trying out“ Valorant to the experience of a gold player playing LoL 5 hours per day is just insanely funny to me. Love you man, but damn this stinks of elitism.

pickems destroyed

How tf South America loosing with Korean buff to teams that get paid 3-4 digit salary?

13:18 jungle is op in soloq

This was 2 hours ago wtf?

God, I’m from latam but I’m glad the new format only gives us 2 best of 3, I’d rather just watch 4 dogshit games from our region than 10 like it used to be. Latam is so bad they should just remove the region entirely and merge it together with CBLOL and NA challenger, that way they wouldn’t suck thaaaat much and we wouldn’t have to watch tier 5 teams going into worlds to embarass themselves. Otro año más de experiencia 😎 2 juegos y pa su casa

Bong the goat

McRee is McRee. Nothing will change that

GAM is actually dogshit how they won against TW to get first seed in VCS baffles me
